Subsequent Shelf Registration If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, the Company shall, subject to Section 3.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including using its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such filing), and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility determination date) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be on another appropriate form. The Company’s obligation under this Section 2.1.2, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 3.4.
Initial Shelf Registration The Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to), as promptly as practicable, file with the SEC a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Shelf Notes (the “Initial Shelf Registration”). The Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Initial Shelf Registration to be declared effective as promptly as practicable thereafter (but in no event later than the Shelf Effectiveness Date). The Initial Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 or another appropriate form permitting registration of such Shelf Notes for resale by Holders in the manner or manners reasonably designated by them (including, without limitation, one or more Underwritten Offerings). The Company and Guarantors shall not permit any securities other than the Shelf Notes to be included in any Shelf Registration. The Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Initial Shelf Registration continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date which is one year from the effectiveness date of the Initial Shelf Registration (subject to extension pursuant to Section 3(e) or Section 6) (the “Effectiveness Period”), or such shorter period ending when (i) all Shelf Notes covered by the Initial Shelf Registration have been sold in the manner contemplated in the Initial Shelf Registration (ii) a Subsequent Shelf Registration covering all of the Registrable Notes covered by and not sold under the Initial Shelf Registration or an earlier Subsequent Shelf Registration has been declared effective under the Securities Act, (iii) there cease to be any outstanding Shelf Notes registered thereunder or (iv) the date on which all Registrable Notes covered by such Shelf Registration become eligible for resale without regard to volume, manner of sale or other restrictions contained in Rule 144.
Resale Shelf Registration Subject to Section 2.9, Ashford Prime shall prepare and file not later than 54 weeks after the consummation date of the Transaction, a “shelf” registration statement with respect to the resale of the Registrable Securities (“Resale Shelf Registration”) by the Holders thereof on an appropriate form for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”) and permitting registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by such Holders in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by the Holders and set forth in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement. Ashford Prime shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof, and, subject to Sections 2.1(e) and 2.9, to keep such Resale Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for a period ending when all shares of Common Stock covered by the Resale Shelf Registration Statement are no longer Registrable Securities. In addition, if the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is not on Form S-3 (or any similar or successor form) and during the period that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is effective Ashford Prime becomes eligible to use Form S-3 (or any similar or successor form), Ashford Prime shall be entitled to amend the Resale Shelf Registration Statement so that it becomes a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any similar or successor form); provided, however, that Ashford Prime shall use its best efforts to have such amendment declared effective as soon as practicable after filing. In the event that Ashford Prime fails to so file, or if filed fails to so maintain the effectiveness of, a Resale Shelf Registration Statement, Ashford Trust OP may participate in a Piggyback Registration pursuant to Section 2.1(b) herein; provided, further, that if and so long as a Resale Shelf Registration Statement is on file and effective (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement), then Ashford Prime shall have no obligation to allow participation in a Piggyback Registration. At the time the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective, Ashford Trust OP and each other Holder that has delivered a duly completed and executed Notice and Questionnaire to Ashford Prime on or prior to the date ten (10) Business Days prior to such time of effectiveness shall be named as a selling securityholder in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus in such a manner as to permit Ashford Trust OP to deliver such prospectus to purchasers of Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law. If required by applicable law, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, after effectiveness of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, Ashford Prime shall file a supplement to such prospectus or amendment to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement not less than once a quarter as necessary to name as selling securityholders therein any Holders that provide to Ashford Prime a duly completed and executed Notice and Questionnaire and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any post-effective amendment to such Resale Shelf Registration Statement filed for such purpose to be declared effective by the Commission as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof.
Resale Shelf Registration Rights 5.1.1. The Company shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Commission, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have declared effective by the Commission, no later than the 18-month anniversary of the Closing, a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the U.S. Securities Act (the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”) Registering the resale from time to time by the Ma’aden Parties of any Ma’aden shares acquired pursuant to the Subscription Agreement or any subsequent exercise of a Top-up Subscription (the “Registrable Securities”). The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (“Form S-3”), or if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company for such Registration Statement, on such other form available to Register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering. Once effective, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, to ensure that another Registration Statement is available, under the U.S. Securities Act at all times for the public resale of all of the Registrable Securities. The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit any Ma’aden Party to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the U.S. Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement.
Automatic Shelf Registration Statement The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act and has prepared and filed with the SEC an automatic shelf registration statement, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act (“Rule 405”) (the file number of which is set forth in Schedule I hereto) on Form S-3, including a related Base Prospectus, for the registration of the offering and sale of the Securities under the Securities Act. Such Registration Statement, including any amendments thereto filed prior to the Execution Time, became effective upon filing; and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or notice objecting to its use has been issued by the SEC and no proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act has been initiated or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by the SEC against the Company or related to the Offering of the Securities. The Company may have filed with the SEC, as part of an amendment to the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 424(b), a preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Securities, which has previously been furnished to you. The Company will file with the SEC a final prospectus supplement relating to the Securities in accordance with Rule 424(b) after the Execution Time. As filed, such final prospectus supplement shall contain all information required by the Securities Act and the rules thereunder, and, except to the extent the Representative shall agree in writing to a modification, shall be in all substantive respects in the form furnished to you prior to the Execution Time or, to the extent not completed at the Execution Time, shall contain only such specific additional information and other changes (beyond that contained in the Base Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus) as the Company has advised you, prior to the Execution Time, will be included or made therein. The Registration Statement, at the Execution Time, meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the Securities Act. The initial Effective Date of the Registration Statement was not earlier than the date three years before the Execution Time.
Shelf Registration Statement In connection with any Shelf Registration Statement, each of the Issuers and the Guarantors shall comply with all the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto each of the Issuers and the Guarantors will as expeditiously as possible prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement relating to the registration on any appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form shall be available for the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof.
Filing of Shelf Registration Statement As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, and in any event within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date if the Company is then eligible to use Form S-3 or sixty (60) days following the Closing Date if the Company is not then eligible to use Form S-3, the Company shall file a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3 Shelf”) or Form S-1 (the “Form S-1 Shelf” and, together with the Form S-3 Shelf, the “Shelf Registration Statement”), as applicable, covering the resale of all Registrable Securities beneficially owned as of the date of filing such Shelf Registration Statement by the Holders on a delayed or continuous basis. If the Company files a Form S-1 Shelf, then as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company becomes eligible to use Form S-3 with respect to the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall convert the Form S-1 Shelf to a Form S-3 Shelf (or other appropriate short form registration statement then permitted by the Commission’s rules and regulations) covering the resale of all Registrable Securities beneficially owned as of the date of filing such Shelf Registration Statement by the Holders (which shall be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement if the Company is a WKSI and otherwise eligible to use such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, including any applicable Suspension Period, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable following the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement cease to be Registrable Securities, including, to the extent a Form S-1 Shelf is converted to a Form S-3 Shelf and the Company thereafter becomes ineligible to use Form S-3, by using commercially reasonable efforts to file a Form S-1 Shelf or other appropriate form specified by the Commission’s rules and regulations as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of such ineligibility and using its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (the period during which the Company is required to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act in accordance with this clause (i), the “Shelf Period”). For so long as any Registrable Securities covered by any Form S-1 Shelf remain unsold, the Company will file any supplements to the Prospectus or post-effective amendments required to be filed by applicable law in order to incorporate or include into such Prospectus any Current Reports on Form 8-K necessary or required to be filed by applicable law, any Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or any Annual Reports on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the Commission, or any other information necessary so that (x) such Form S-1 Shelf shall not include any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, and (y) the Company complies with its obligations under Item 512(a)(1) of Regulation S-K. The Company shall promptly notify the Holders named in the Shelf Registration Statement via e-mail to the addresses set forth on Schedule I hereof of the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement. The Company shall file a final Prospectus in respect of such Shelf Registration Statement with the Commission to the extent required by Rule 424. The “Plan of Distribution” section of such Shelf Registration Statement shall include a plan of distribution, which includes the means of distribution substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto.
